About the Book<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this book, independent experts analyze the performance of Justin Trudeau\u2019s years in power in over 25 important areas of government policy. The record of what has been done \u2013 and what hasn\u2019t \u2013 will surprise even well-informed readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus is on six policy areas: Indigenous rights, governance and housing; the environment and energy; taxes and spending; healthcare and social benefits; foreign policy, immigration, and trade; and social policy including drug reform, labour rights, and racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editors Katherine Scott, Laura Macdonald and Stuart Trew of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and Carleton University have recruited Canada\u2019s most knowledgeable experts in their areas to contribute to this volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
